Latency, often called ping, is the time it takes for data to travel from the source to the destination and back. In cloud computing, lower latency means better performance, especially for real-time and interactive applications.
Here’s what good latency looks like based on application type:
? Real-time apps (gaming, video conferencing) → Below 50 ms
? Interactive apps (web browsing, online trading) → 50-100 ms
? Non-interactive apps (file transfers, backups) → 100+ ms may be acceptable

3 周Use Azure Front Door – Helps route users to the nearest endpoint for faster response times. Enable CDN – Cache static content closer to users to reduce load times. Optimize Network Routing – Use ExpressRoute or Azure Virtual WAN for lower latency and higher reliability. ?? Choose the Nearest Region – For users in Bangladesh, deploying in Southeast Asia (Singapore) is the best choice for minimal latency. Testing your latency with Azure Speed Test is a great start! ?? #Azure #CloudPerformance
